Meet the Dental Team

We’re a family who’s passionate about providing you with exceptional dental care.

Patient-Focused Dentistry Is Our Style

It’s simple: We’re a family who cares about your family. As your preferred dentist in Lititz, we always put our patients’ needs first. This starts by providing you with our honest feedback while presenting multiple options to achieve your goals on your terms – not ours.

Taking a Holistic Approach: We believe in comprehensive care where we look at the overall picture of your oral health. We take preventative, conservative measures to keep your smile healthy and avoid future and expensive dental problems.

You Are in Charge: We will never pressure you to make dental decisions you’re not comfortable with. Instead, we put you in the driver’s seat and let you drive the treatment plan.

Working with You: Every situation and individual are unique. That’s how we design our treatment plans. Your dental care will be planned to work within your needs, timeline, and budget.

Meet Your Lititz Dentist, Dr. Richard Berg

"I approach your treatment plan, thinking if you were family, this is what I would do for you.”

Dr. Berg has been a part of the Lititz community for 30+ years and has loved every minute of it. He chose dentistry as his career because of the relationships he develops with his patients and improving their lives with comprehensive dental care.

Because of his commitment to his patients, he consistently attends continuing education courses to stay current with the latest technologies, techniques, and materials.

“I married my best friend Pam and we have five children who are now all adults. We love to travel to new destinations together. We love photography, hiking, kayaking, biking, landscaping, and being active at our church.”

Who is your hero?

“George Washington! He was a courageous, Godly, compassionate, selfless visionary leader, risking everything for the benefit of others.”

What “lesson from dad” do you still live by?

“My dad taught me to do things well even when no one is looking. Always keep a sense of humor and always trust God.”

If you were ice cream, what flavor of ice would you be?

“Peppermint stick because it’s refreshing and unique!”

If you want a skilled, caring, and very sensitive dentist, Dr. Berg is who I recommend. He and his staff make you feel welcomed right away and make it evident that they are there to serve you and your dental needs.

I was born in Pittsburgh, GO STEELERS!, but was raised in Ephrata with two sisters and four brothers. I currently reside in Ephrata with my husband, two children, and a very mischievous chocolate lab. I enjoy spending time with my family, camping, hiking, being outdoors and reading a good book. I have had the wonderful pleasure of working with Dr. Berg and his team since 2012. I graduated from the YTI Dental Assisting Program in 2009. Although I really enjoy working as a dental assistant, I found a new love for working as a Patient Care Coordinator for the Dr. Berg Team.

I graduated from Lancaster County AVTS Dental Assisting program in 1984. Since that time I have filled numerous roles in the dental office, including Orthodontic Assistant, Orthodontic Lab Technician, Bookkeeper and my current role in Dr. Berg’s practice as a Patient Care Coordinator. My husband and I have been Lititz residents for over 20 years. We have 2 grown children, a pug, and two cats. Outside of work, I enjoy camping, the beach, being outdoors, baseball, knitting, drawing, reading and especially spending time with my family.

“I have always enjoyed science and caring for others and dentistry was the perfect fit for me. The best part of my job is taking care of my patients. I enjoy getting to know them on a personal basis and fulfilling their needs while under my care.”

What do you do outside of the dental office?

Who is your hero?

“The American Soldier/Veteran! I have the deepest respect for someone who is willing to make such a sacrifice to protect our great country.”

“I grew up in Ephrata and live in Akron with my teenage son Dakota, six-year-old labradoodle Gunnar, and two cats.”

Why did you choose dentistry?

What “lesson from mom” do you still live by?

“Find contentment in your life. Remember God has a plan for your life and his timing is always perfect!”

What flavor of ice cream would you be?

“Rocky Road because life doesn’t always turn out how you expected it.”

I have been working in hygiene for over 20 years, and working with Dr. Berg since 2007. I graduated from Manheim Central High School and Northhampton Community College in 1992. My husband and I reside in Lititz and have three children (two of them are married). We also have one dog and several outside cats. I enjoy skiing, the beach, mountains and outdoor activities and am always ready to find a good book to read or movie to watch.
